Today we asked which flag would greet you if you said "The state has waived its claim to my loot." If you said “E” you were correct! This is the flag of the Customs Department. The Bahamas has had some form of custom collection since at least 1729 when Woodes Rogers first arrived in the islands. An Act was passed on 21st March 1914 to establish the Customs Department as "separate and apart" from its ties to the Treasury Department, and in 1989 regulations provided for the appointment of a seal and flag. While "loot" may have made you think about pirates (or expelling them), the phase was talking about the exemption that we can claim when we come back from our shopping trips to Miami (not Florida). So, how did you do this week? Come back tomorrow to find out how your house did! Who do you think is at the top of the leaderboard?
